Necrosis Necrosis is caused by factors external to the cell or tissue, such as infection, toxins, or trauma which result in the unregulated digestion of cell components.or this reason, it is often necessary to remove necrotic tissue surgically, a procedure known as debridement. Untreated necrosis results in a build-up of decomposing dead tissue and cell debris at or near the site of the cell death. A classic example is gangrene.

Gangrene Dry gangrene. Dry gangrene is the most common form of gangrene, and it occurs most frequently in the feet of people with diabetes * . Dry gangrene results from the gradual loss of blood supply to a part of the body. The tissue slowly dies because it receives little or no oxygen and nutrients from the blood, but it does not become infected. The first symptoms of dry gangrene are often numbness and tingling in the affected area.

Overview So a minor foot injury — a cut, scrape, corn, callus or ingrown toenail — may not heal properly and become infected. A difficult-to-heal open sore (foot ulcer) may require surgery to prevent the decay and death of tissue (gangrene). Gangrene results from an interruption in blood flow to an area of your body.

Necrosis Necrosis, the death of cells or tissues, takes place if the blood supply to tissues is restricted; poisons produced by microbes, chemical poisons, and extreme heat or electricity also may cause necrosis. The rotting of the dead tissue is known as gangrene.
